“This book gives me more information about penguins than I care to have.”
– In 1944 a children’s book club sent a volume about penguins to a 10-year-old girl, enclosing a card seeking her opinion.

I like Steve Martin the way I like crab patties. Which is A LOT. Currently reading Pure Drivel, which is making me crave An Object of Beauty. I must have MOAR.
Hanna has also read Pure Drivel, and it is one of her favorite books read last year.

“When she was little she fantasized about eating handfuls of dirt to be closer to nature. The red, yellow and sterling roses bloomed bigger than cupcakes. The water hyacinth in the pond burst into edible-looking purple-and-white blossoms. As she got older she tended the pond, lovingly, feeding the koi, gently lifting out the plants with their long trailing roots to clean the filter, drain...

Anna was a tough act to follow. But Lola, you have tangled my heartstrings into the loveliest knots. We need a new book from you now, Miss Perkins, if you please.
This was a post by Kubi who stayed up most of the night reading this book.

This was a post by Hanna, who is currently in a catatonic state. John Green, you sure know how to make a girl hide under the covers and sob for hours. Still, you are awesome sauce. So is this book.

This was a post by Hanna, who really should go back to work. Seriously. She is currently reading The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. (She apologizes for the crappy photo. She was half-asleep when she took it.)
